Backplane Mounting
The SCS-TRUMPET will be used as an assembly
together with a CompactPCI® Serial CPU board
such as the SC1-ALLEGRO, SC2-PRESTO, or
SC3-LARGO..
If the backplane is provided with a right aligned
system slot, be sure to position the CPU carrier
board to system slot (and not the
SCS-TRUMPET). Consequently, the
SCS-TRUMPET then occupies the next card cage
slot to the right, outside of the system
backplane shape.
This assembly order (right aligned system board
slot) is recommended because no regular
CompactPCI® Serial backplane peripheral slot
would get lost. Otherwise, the SCS-TRUMPET
would occupy a regular fat pipe slot.
In order to use the rear I/O enabled
SCS-TRUMPET version, a custom specific
transition module (rear board) can be installed
from behind. Typically a single slot backplane
would be placed between the SCS-TRUMPET
and the transition module, in addition.
